Beware! The Blob (1972)

- written January 2006

Summary: Chester returns from working on the Alaskan pipelines with a frozen sample of something his crew found. Enjoying his beers a little too much, the sample thaws out and escapes. The Blob is loose and continues to grow in size as it starts to find victims around town.           Overall: Seems a lot of people enjoy this campy attempt at a sequel, but frankly outside of the cameo appearances, this film bored me to death. Really...you could just grab your remote and fast-forward this film and miss nothing. It’s just so painfully slow that by the 35 minute mark, you’d be lucky to even properly identify the main characters. All that happens early on are people dying due to the blob...and no one living. Overall it’s an awful film that tried to be spoofy and failed. Bad acting, awful music and the effects miss the mark. Yes, it’s cute to take a look back at the 70’s fads and fashion and music. But for every few seconds of joy...it’s minutes of suffering.           Comparison: The Blob meets Rocky Horror Picture Show
